Dark spots and acne scars can remain after blemishes and be unsettling. But with the right care and the right products, hyperpigmentation can be effectively reduced. In this blog, you'll learn which ingredients are particularly effective, how you can optimize your skincare routine, and which products will help you restore your complexion's even glow.
What are acne scars and hyperpigmentation?
Acne marks are dark spots left behind after inflammation or blemishes. They are caused by excessive production of melanin, the skin's coloring pigment. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by acne, sun exposure, or hormonal fluctuations and affects many skin types.
The good news? With targeted care, you can reduce stains and prevent them in the long term.
Which ingredients help against acne scars?
Niacinamide:
Reduces melanin production and ensures a more even skin tone. Soothes the skin and minimizes redness.
Vitamin C:
A powerful antioxidant that lightens dark spots and boosts collagen production. Neutralizes free radicals and protects against further damage.
Tranexamic acid (TXA):
Inhibits melanin production and is particularly effective against sun damage. Ideal for sensitive skin.
Alpha-Arbutin:
A natural active ingredient that reduces dark spots. Gentle on the skin and effective against hyperpigmentation.

Removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. Ideal for refining skin texture and reducing dark spots.
